I’ve always struggled with the question “Am I gay enough to be considered queer?”
See, in all my years of being a freely divorced woman, I never dated people of different genders. I…had done some noteworthy things, but I never felt “gay” enough to commit to the whole queer label. And this is me exploring that in a comic.
Sexual orientation is a spectrum, not a binary thing. I’ve had my share of queer feelings. I’ve consumed plenty of queer media. I just wasn’t sure if I was on the team or just an ally. Recently, I feel like I’ve gotten clearer with myself on my queerness and queer identity. Do I even have a queer identity? I don’t know. I’ve always just called myself a “tom boy” without thinking too much deeper on what that could mean.
Also, I thought everyone had a crush on Christina Hendricks in the 2010’s.
Anyway, I’m probably gonna use this month to make more queer-questioning comics like this. I have thoughts. I must spin them into pixels for great funnies.
